Zendaya recently expressed her fondness for music and hinted at a possible return to the music industry during an interview on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.” While she released her debut self-titled album in 2013, she has not released a solo project since then. Zendaya has collaborated with various artists such as Chris Brown, Zac Efron, and Labrinth, but has not pursued music as actively as before due to the challenges of combining music and business. Despite teasing a second album in 2016, there has been little news about a follow-up project as Zendaya focused on her acting career, starring in major films like the “Spider-Man” series and “Dune.”
Although Zendaya has not released new music in recent years, she expressed her love for creating music for herself and left open the possibility of releasing new music in the future. After her collaboration with Labrinth on the song “I’m Tired” in 2022, she took to social media to thank her fans for their support and reflected on her absence from music. Zendaya acknowledged that she stepped away from music for personal reasons, but still appreciates the art form and the support she has received from fans. She described the overwhelming response to her recent music as heartwarming and hinted that she may release new music when the timing is right.
Zendaya also discussed her experience performing live, particularly at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where she joined Labrinth on stage to perform their song “All For Us” in 2019. Although she initially hesitated to perform, describing herself as having stage fright from childhood, she ultimately decided to face her fears and embrace the opportunity to perform live. Zendaya emphasized the importance of not running away from experiences that may be challenging, and recognized that she may want to perform live on stage at some point in her career.
The audience at “The Jennifer Hudson Show” responded with enthusiasm to Zendaya’s comments about music, indicating their support for her potential return to the music scene. Zendaya’s openness to the idea of releasing new music in the future and her willingness to continue exploring her passion for music suggests that she is not ready to completely put her music career behind her. While her focus has primarily been on acting in recent years, her love for music and the positive reception to her recent music collaborations may inspire her to pursue new musical projects in the future.
Despite the challenges of balancing music and business that Zendaya mentioned in her interview, she remains optimistic about the possibility of creating new music and sharing it with her fans. Her reflections on her past experiences with music, her recent collaborations, and her willingness to perform live indicate a growing interest in returning to the music industry in some capacity. As Zendaya continues to navigate her career in acting and explore new opportunities, it is clear that her love for music remains a significant part of her artistic expression that she may choose to revisit in the future.
